I will admit that working with Siri can be challenging, and it is
true, it does make a difference how things are said. But with a
little practice, once you find out what works the best, Siri can be
very helpful in achieving task quickly.
For example, when adding an appointment to my calendar, I learned that
the following works the best for me.
I say, schedule, name of appointment,, at, time of appointment, day or
date of appointment.
And I just tried to schedule an appointment at 4:45, and I did not
have a problem. I tried saying both, 4:45, as well as a quarter til
five, and Siri did it both times.
Now, I will agree, Siri could use some improvements, and I do look
forward to see what ios 10 might bring.
The way I look at it, even though Siri is definitely not perfect, I am
just proud to have her assistance to do what she can. I know that
with time she will continue to get better and do more.

Sorry about the previous blank message. I usually use Siri either to
get the weather or when I'm on the move and need to schedule an
appointment or send a text. I have noticed a deterioration since IOS
9 came out. For example, I will attempt to schedule an appointment at
4:45, and Siri will insist on scheduling it for 4:00. I am trying to
be patient, but this is beginning to be a problem. I usually only do
this when I'm on the move, as stopping to use the Braille or onscreen
keyboard is not convenient at those times. I ope this improves in IOS 10.

I use Siri to post a message on my facebook time line when I
don't need to open FB. I just say to Siri, post to facebook.
She'll ask me what I want to say on my time line. I'll
dictate the text of what I want to say including saying
period at the end of a sentense and use the voice enflection
to indicate the end of the sentence. To many people just
dictate with out using voice enflection and saying period or
coma where needed. With a bit of practice, you be a pro at
it in no time.
